Description: The Last Joke, Bellagio, also known as A Good Joke. This photograph was to win first place in the Amateur Photographer's Photographic Holiday Work Competition, appearing in the 25 November 1887 issue. It was considered the only spontaneous work in the competition, judged by British photographer Dr. Peter Henry Emerson. The photograph is of children laughing and talking as they gather about a woman who appears to be collecting water. It is closely cropped, focusing on the children, with architectural arches in the background providing a stage set for the image.
